Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. I have a body mass index of 21.5 kg/m^2.

2. On a scale of 1 - 10, I rate myself as 9.

Explanation:

Body mass index is a measurement of the amount of fat in the human body. It is calculated using the weight and height of an individual.

Since I have a body mass index of 21.5 kg/m^2, I fall into the standard range of healthy individuals. It ranges from 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m^2. Underweight is classified as people with Body Mass Index of less than 18.5. People with Body Mass Index of more than 25 kg/m^2 are obese.

Goals for my fitness include:

1. Maintaining my exercise routine so as to sustain my current BMI.

2. Eating healthier meals that would not predispose me to obesity.
